x86/mm: Don't reenter flush_tlb_func_common()
It was historically possible to have two concurrent TLB flushes targetting the same CPU: one initiated locally and one initiated remotely. This can now cause an OOPS in leave_mm() at arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:47: if (this_cpu_read(cpu_tlbstate.state) == TLBSTATE_OK) BUG(); with this call trace: flush_tlb_func_local arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:239 [inline] flush_tlb_mm_range+0x26d/0x370 arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:317 Without reentrancy, this OOPS is impossible: leave_mm() is only called if we're not in TLBSTATE_OK, but then we're unexpectedly in TLBSTATE_OK in leave_mm(). This can be caused by flush_tlb_func_remote() happening between the two checks and calling leave_mm(), resulting in two consecutive leave_mm() calls on the same CPU with no intervening switch_mm() calls. We never saw this OOPS before because the old leave_mm() implementation didn't put us back in TLBSTATE_OK, so the assertion didn't fire. Nadav noticed the reentrancy issue in a different context, but neither of us realized that it caused a problem yet.
